Hello,

I was setting up the different offices’ different holiday calendars per country and noticed something for Bulgaria:

New Year's Day: 01.01.2023 - Sunday
Liberation Day: 03.03.2023 - Friday
Orthodox Good Friday: 14.04.2023 - Friday
Orthodox Holy Saturday: 15.04.2023 - Saturday
Orthodox Easter Day: 16.04.2023 - Sunday
Orthodox Easter Monday: 17.04.2023 - Monday
Labour Day: 01.05.2023 - Monday
St. George's Day: 06.05.2023 - Saturday
Culture and Literacy Day: 24.05.2023 - Wednesday
Unification Day: 06.09.2023 - Wednesday
Independece Day: 22.09.2023 - Friday
Christmas Eve: 24.12.2023 - Sunday
Christmas Day: 25.12.2023 - Monday
Christmas Holiday: 26.12.2023 - Tuesday

Currently, per law, if a national holiday falls on a weekend, the 1st working day right after it, usually the Monday if the Monday itself is not a holiday, becomes a bank holiday in the country (similarly to how it works in the UK for example). Respectively, in 2023, 2 January, 8 May, and 27 December are also bank holidays.

This makes a difference when reporting people’s attendance. Thought I’d flag it. 

Best,
Stefan

Hi @Stefan T 

 

I am afraid it is not currently possible to configure the Public holiday calendar in a way that public holidays falling on the weekend are moved to Monday of the following week. The only solution would be to manually modify the existing Public holiday calendar in use.
 
If we are talking about a System holiday calendar, then you will need to duplicate this calendar in order to be able to delete the public holiday that falls on the weekend and add again this day on the desired date. In this case, I suggest creating this new public holiday day selecting the option Once on a fixed date since it will be a one-time holiday for the selected year. Please, do not create as a Fixed date since it would retroactively affect the absences requested for previous years.
 
In the following article you can find further information:
